Tenant rights
Your landlord cannot demote your tenancy without getting permission from a court.
If the court grants your landlord a ‘demotion order’, you lose some of your rights – e.g. the right to acquire scheme is suspended.
Demoted tenancies usually last one year.
If you do not break the terms of your tenancy again during this time, you should automatically become an assured tenant again after 12 months.
